Cleaning Fabric
Cleaning General Soilage or
Water Spots From Fabric Trim
Multipurpose powdered cleaner is
excellent for this type of cleaning
and for cleaning panel sections
where small cleaning rings may
be left from spot cleaning.
Vacuum the area thoroughly to
remove loose dirt.
ALWAYS clean a full trim
assembly or complete trim
section. Mask surrounding trim
along stitch or welt-lines.
Mix the multipurpose
powdered cleaner in strict
accordance with the directions
on the label of its container.
Mix in proportion for smaller
quantities.
USE SUDS ONLY ON A
CLEAN SPONGE OR SOFT
BRISTLE BRUSH. DO NOT
SATURATE FABRIC OR RUB
HARSHLY WITH THE
BRUSH.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER
CLEANING, WIPE OFF
EXCESS CLEANER WITH A
SLIGHTLY DAMP ABSORBENT
TOWEL OR CLOTH.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER
WIPING, FORCE-DRY THE
FABRIC WITH AN AIR HOSE,
HEAT DRYER, OR HEAT
LAMP. Use caution if you are
using a heat dryer or heat lamp
so you do not damage the
fabric.
When trim materials that have a
sheen or lustrous finish are dry,
wipe them with a soft, clean
cloth to restore the sheen.
Spot Cleaning Fabric
With Solvent Cleaner
Before trying to remove a spot or
stain from fabric, determine as
accurately as you can what kind of
spot or stain it is and how long it
has been there. Some spots or
stains can be removed with water
or mild soap solution (see
"Removal of Specific Stains").
Spots or stains should always be
removed as soon as possible.
Some types of stains or soilage,
such as lipstick, inks and grease,
are very difficult (sometimes
impossible) to completely remove.
When cleaning this type of stain or
soilage be sure not to enlarge the
soiled area. Fabric cleaner (solvent
type) is excellent for spot-cleaning
grease, oil or fat stains.
